...Center in Los Angeles with a sign saying LORRAINE BY TONY KAYE and call it art isn't going to take the re-editing of his first film, American History X, lightly. And indeed, Kaye, a British commercials director, is waging a bitter but colorful battle against New Line Cinema, taking out cryptically worded full-page ads in trade magazines imploring, among others, stars ED NORTON and EDDIE FURLONG to help him. Kaye's beef: despite the fact that he has spent more than $1 million of his own money on his new vision for the film, the studio...
...soon to tell if cinema traditionalists will snap as well. Perhaps they'll find some solace in the nod to the usual cameo appearance that Hitchcock made in his films. But perhaps not. This time, thanks to the wonders of movie magic, he's glimpsed chatting with Van Sant...

Long withheld from U.S. distribution, the series will be shown this week at Manhattan's Walter Reade Theater. A cinephile's fondest hope is that the series will soon travel to other...
...There is still, however, some gnarly stuff. Crocodile Hunter tracks the boyish-yet-bad-ass Steve Irwin and his wife through Australia, where they pick up snakes and outrun emus. Even those who don't like animals--in fact, especially those who dislike animals--can enjoy Emergency Vets, a cinema-verite take on a Denver veterinary office. Rover and his owner dealing with a run-over paw make great TV. And perhaps the network's cleverest idea of all is The Pet Shop, a talk show with pet jokes in the monologue, pet skits and celebrities who are interviewed with...
